Announcing the Who@50 53rd Anniversary Fanwork-a-thon!
By popular demand (and thanks to all of the people who commented on my "testing the water" post the other day), it's back! The 53rd Anniversary of Doctor Who is looming over us and as in previous years, I thought it would be nice to commemorate it here at who_at_50 via the medium of fanwork.
I therefore announce the who_at_50 52nd Anniversary Fanwork-a-thon, celebrating more than half a century of Doctor Who-related goodness. All - that is all - forms of fannish endeavour are welcome - fanfic, fanart, fanvids, fanmixes, icons, podfic, and absolutely any other medium in which you want to express your creativity and celebrate your love for that which is Who, almost certainly including some I've never even heard of. Signups are open from today; posting of fanworks will commence from 1 November 2016 and continue throughout that month. Anything evoking the idea of the extraordinary longevity and diversity of Who would be especially welcome, but maybe the best way to do that is by creating the most typically Doctor Who-like Doctor Who fanwork you can?
If you're interested in taking part, please say so in the comments to this post to get added to the list of participants. It would be great if you could name a date in advance (list provided below) as it helps spread the contributions across more of the month, but it's not essential to do so.

To try and reflect as many of the myriad different parts of Doctor Who as possible, I'm also going to ask people to pick a category for their fanwork from the following list. The idea is to pick one that hasn't already been picked by somebody else, but if you really really want to do one somebody else has already gone for, please let me know and, soft touch that I am, I will almost certainly relent. Also if you can think of a category that I've missed which you'd like to use, that's fantastic too. :) If all of the categories are already taken when you sign up, then please feel free to choose whichever one you'd like.

Minor Characters
Torchwood
Sarah Jane Adventures
Class (because it might be good!)
Audios
Comics
Novels
And finally I suppose we ought to go over what are, theoretically speaking, the rules:
- Please feel free to post your fanworks directly to the community, or link to your own Livejournal/Dreamwidth account or any external archive or site you use for hosting your stuff.
- Fanworks you are creating for any other 'thon or challenge coinciding with this one are eligible for inclusion here, provided the person running the other 'thon is okay with it.
- There are no minimum length requirements, but please put any large images or, in the case of fanfic, anything over 1000 words, under a cut or the other side of a link.
- There are no rating restrictions, but again please cut and provide warnings for anything over PG-13, or which might be considered triggering. Use your common sense.
- Character-bashing is in the eye of the beholder, but there are ways of critiquing or lampooning something you don't necessarily like about the show without resorting to straight-up hatchet-work that is going to cause angst on the comm. Common sense, again.
- Disclaimers may or may not actually work from a legal standpoint, but they help me sleep at night.
- Most importantly, HAVE FUN!
And that's my bit done. Go for it!
